The purpose of this plugin is to provide access to new, ordered content using an unchanging link — i.e., it provides the ability to bring a user to the next article in a series each time they click on a link like https://www.my-site.com/?get-next-article-in=set-name. Set-name is the name of a series of articles. (When they have accessed the last article in a set, users are returned to the first article in the set when they click on the link again.) If caching blocks this a string (random, date, etc.) can be added to set-name in the link of the form set-name:string to avert caching.
This plugin can be used, e.g., to bring users to the next lesson in a set of lessons by sending them a reminder email containing the https://www.my-site.com/?get-next-article-in=set-name link each day (or with whatever frequency is appropriate to the subject material. The link never changes. Each time a person clicks on the link in their reminder email, however, they are taken to the lesson which follows the lesson they read last.
This is accomplished by setting a cookie on the user’s computer. The value of the cookie is the slug of the next article in the series. Any limitations on cookies can, therefore, impact the functioning of this plugin.
